A NEW HOTEL IN THE LAKE DISTRICT

Warm hospitality and contemporary comfort combine with views over Ullswater and the fells. Inside are 40 bedrooms, Rampsbeck Restaurant, The Living Space bar and restaurant and a library – as well as Swim Club, including treatment rooms and a 20 metre lake view swimming pool. Outside are rolling grounds, secluded nooks, a walnut grove and the lakeshore with it’s own jetty. Stay on your own, with friends or the family plus the dog to discover adventure and tranquility in the Lakes.

Inside

The original Georgian house is filled with light, contemporary spaces. New parts of the building take cues from the hotel’s heritage. Old and new are tied throughout, with original features taking their place alongside bold textiles and modernist furniture. Spaces are inviting and convivial – each designed with a purpose in mind but together forming an open house where you are free to do as you please.

Entrance

Passing time or just passing through, see our welcome board to help you plan the day ahead. Blankets and free-pour coffee are yours to take into the grounds.

Library

Leaf through the books – yours to borrow and read while you stay – and find your spot by the fire. Or plot your day on a map and play a board game or two.

Treatments

Treat yourself to a treatment either freestyle or off the ‘menu’. Swim Club has double and single treatment rooms, experienced therapists and a treatment snug.

Restaurant

Share a meal in our restaurant, serving delicious food inspired by the region. The three-course menu is available to both guests and non-residents.

Living Space

Eat, meet and greet in The Living Space or lounge on sofas and gaze at the view. The menu includes easy favourites such as mussels, burgers and salads.

Terrace

Take things outdoors. Set between The Living Space and Swim Club, the terrace is a sheltered spot where you can eat and drink overlooking the lake and fells.

The places you’ll go

Outside

18 roamable acres of secluded grounds include a formal garden, a vegetable patch and herb garden, the Sheep’s Shed sports hire, a sheep’s field and a walnut grove. From our part of the lakeshore, a wooden jetty gives direct access to the lake for swimmers and sailors. Oak, beech and alder are strung with hammocks and swinging seats. It’s a place for parties and picnics and hanging out in trees.

Families

All the family can make themselves at home here. Everyone can use our grounds for outdoor adventure, while our dedicated, Ofsted-registered, kids’ space includes a wood cabin, a safari tent, an outside play and woodland area. From there, we run supervised kids’ sessions, including activities, crafts and forest skills.

Dogs

Dogs can accompany you in The Living Space, on the terrace, in both our family cottages and in 17 dog-friendly rooms. On our doorstep are beautiful, interesting walks as well as 18 acres of parkland to play in.
